My ClickOnce app uses Office Web Components. The target client machine will be Windows 2000 or Windows XP with Office 2003 Typical installed. The app will be querying an Analysis Services 2005 cube.
OWC11 with SSAS 2005 requires MSXML6 and OLEDB9 to be installed on the client. Is it possible to get the ClickOnce installer to check for these and install them on the client if not present
Thanks, Bren
How to install Office Web Component prerequisites using ClickOnce
Stijn Sanders
I am getting a fatal error when I try to install owc11.exe
Office (with Business contact manager) has been running funky, views not persisting, stalling when synchronizing folders, and though I did install owc11 at one point, Update suggested I install it again. When I do it says install newer version, i say yes and then get the fatal install error message.
Any suggestions

After further study, I discovered that ClickOnce installs custom prerequisites with the use of a Bootstrapper app. There is an MSDN webcast on the topic that demonstrates exactly what I need to know; ClickOnce Detecting and Deploying Prerequisites for Your App. David Guyer participates in this webcast; he has developed an application that makes creating the manifest required by the bootstrapper easier. That application is available at GotDotNet.com; it's called Bootstrap Manifest Generator.

Hi
Did you manage to achieve installation successfully
I am having problems getting owc11.exe to install as clickonce keeps saying that the file has changed since it was published. Any thoughts
Thanks

Yes, I am able to install successfully. There are a series of webcasts that explain in detail what you need to do.
I'm not clear on what you are trying to do, what you have done, and what the messages are.
For example, I don't think you want to install an owc11.exe. I thinkit would be a dll.
I might be able to help if you can be much more specific.
But I do recommend viewing the webcasts.
